“LITTLE PRINCE”, DANIEL: PROUD AND SELF-IMPORTANT (NOT THE CORRECT DEFINITION THOUGH)
THE “LITTLE PRINCE’S” ROSE
Daniel used to be like the rose in “Little Prince” (I think it’s a story book), proud/arrogant and self-important.
He is very confident of his appearance, and has high hopes on his talent.
But, after receiving the judges’ negative comments in Malaysian Idol, this rose at last keep himself low.
But, a rose is still a rose, the thorns on the stem, will still have a sense of protection to himself.
The things that could be said, had been all revealed.
Things that couldn’t be revealed, he wouldn’t leak s single word, including relationships and the trip to Taiwan…!!!
Daniel said, last time he is very arrogant, but since Malaysian Idol he went through a lot of obstruction, then he realized the importance of being humble, compared to last time, the present Daniel has grown up a lot, and matured a lot.
“I used to be very arrogant and self-important, I think that my singing is great, maybe also think that I’m very good looking!” he shyly said, “That was last time, things have changed, I have to push myself to learn.”
It seems that, in MI’s ‘Theater Idol’ audition, Daniel thought that he’s good enough, as a result his over-confidence made his performance became worse, at that time he suffered a defeat, think that he’s a failure, luckily the judges gave him another chance, let him continue to the next level. Since then, Daniel make great efforts to learn, he appreciates every single minute, every second on the stage, because of the defeat he had grown to be more matured, as a result he became the next Malaysian Idol.
“DEFINITELY FINISH MY STUDIES”
Now, not only he’s busy promoting, he’s also starting to prepare his first single and album. The term ‘Malaysian Idol’, after hearing for a few time we will get used to it, but to him day by day it’s becoming a type of pressure, he has to be better to convince other people, as for his studies, he will have to put it aside temporarily.
“Because I won MI, I hope I should use the chance to pursue my dream, make music as my career, as for my studies, I don’t mind graduating later than other people, but I definitely will finish it” he said firmly.
“VERY HAPPY AND HONOURED TO BE AN ARTIST”
Daniel has always been very lucky, since 3 years ago he became Jay Chou’s guest performer in his concert, his musical dream has continued till now, he will continue the journey until the future, that concert is an unforgettable one, because he can perform in front of over 15000 people, and also to work together with his own idol.
“Before and after becoming a guest performer on that day, there’s been a lot of changes. The changes were that I’ll dream of becoming a star, I really want to be a singer….”
Hope to be which type of star? “I never think too much, well, becoming a singer is good enough. Becoming a famous person I’m happy enough, proud enough.”
“I’M A SUPERSTITIOUS PERSON”
My luck is long term, I feel very lucky to have a bit of talent in music, I feel lucky to work with my idol, and in MI… I’m a superstitious person, I’m worried that my luck will soon be used finish, that’s when I have to rely on my capability.”
Seeing that there’s a crystal bracelet on his hand, somehow doesn’t look right with his other accessories, then I believe that he’s quite superstitious.
“This tiger-eye-stone is given by my mom, everytime I go on stage I’ll wear it, I heard that its power is to protect me against the evil, but I don’t know if it really chase the evils away!”
“LOVE MUSIC, BORN TO BE”
Although Daniel d not have any great music background, but as a matter of fact his family background invisibly has created talent, parents who like singing (only at home =p), two sisters who knows how to play the piano and composing, his brother and sis who likes playing guitar, this type of environment somehow more or less influenced him.
“Since young I already love music, it’s like I’m born to be like that.”
Since 3 or 4 years old, Daniel already liked to watch MTV, concerts, he had no interest in cartoons. After that his mom sent him to learn piano, at that time he did not have interest, after learning for awhile he stop. Until Standard 4, he suddenly has interest in guitar, he started learning by himself, then his mom also sent him to learn acoustic guitar. Of course, after that he continued learning piano and violin, and he joined some music activities, until 3 years ago then he started singing and learning music.
“I think I can never leave music, I really love it a lot a lot…”
“MALAYSIA’S VERSION OF JACKSON 5”
Daniel’s family really encouraged him to continue the journey of music, but as a matter of fact earlier on his parents did not really agree. He said, maybe Kedah was a small place where the development of music is really low, it doesn’t look like a good career. Honestly, his parents have the thinking that ‘music doesn’t bring good profit’. Since 3 years ago Daniel moved to Penang (for university), his parents slowly supported him after seeing that he has some success in this field.
“Now they’re like my fans! Haha!”
Daniel and his siblings all have their strength. Eldest sis likes composing and singing, 2nd sis graduated from music course, his younger brother is a electric guitarist, and work in a band, and his youngest sister knows how to play the guitar well. 5 music-lovers siblings, looks that the previous Jackson 5……
Not so great la! It’s just that we love to sing at home. The thought of the 5 of us making a band was there before, but now my eldest sis is married, my second sis is busy with her job, it’s quite hard actually.”
Still, last time they used to perform together at small functions, it’s not something that should be regretted after all!
“EXPELLED JUST TO SEE CONCERT”
For music, Daniel can do anything, last time because he wanted to see The Corrs’ concert so he ‘ponteng’ and did not attend his exam, this result to him being expelled.
“During Form 6 final exams, because I want to go and see the concert, I did not go for class and did not take the exam, therefore I was expelled because my results didn’t turn out well! Actually, that’s one of the school rules, if the exam’s average mark is not good then we’ll be expelled. Actually at that time I was moving, so I did not care much, after that in Penang I register to study Form 6 in a private secondary school. This is something that shouldn’t be done, it’s not a good example.”
WHAT AN IDOL HAS LEARNT THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY
In his studies, Daniel admitted that his results are so so. After Form Six, he couldn’t apply for university, and he did not have chance to sing, at that time he lost his directions. Just like other teenagers, days go by blindly.
“At that period, I just sleep every day, when I wake up I just waste my time doing nothing, it’s a bad habit. Supposingly I should be taking the initiative to work harder, at least to get a job, maybe I’ll get different type of changes.”
After that, he choose to work part time, he understand the concept of taking the initiative. Other than singing, he also worked in a computing company, learning some editing work.
“Human beings should move towards different directions, it will bring them different results. As long as you do something, there will always have chance to learn.”
At 23 years old, he became famous in a night, and he is the first Chinese Malaysian Idol in history – Daniel Lee Chee Hun, shared his thoughts with all his fans throughout the whole Malaysia who truly cares about him, admires him, supports him, adores him, and respects him.
